1. City of Overland Park - No General Business License (Specialty Licenses Only)

   Overland Park does not require a general business license or Certificate of Occupancy renewal for most businesses. The City Clerk's office administers a small set of specialty licenses (massage therapist/establishment, pawnbroker, precious metal dealer, taxi/limo/car service, transient merchant) for businesses that fall into those categories; a Certificate of Occupancy is a one-time requirement tied to the space, not an annual business license.

2. Overland Park Certificate of Occupancy (assembly / fitness use)

The City of Overland Park issues certificates of occupancy and administers building, electrical, plumbing and mechanical permits and inspections directly through its Permits, Licenses and Inspections function — Johnson County has no permitting jurisdiction inside city limits, though Johnson County Contractor Licensing is where any contractor doing the buildout gets licensed. Expect review of exits, occupant load and fire protection for an assembly classification. Overland Park requires no general business license for a yoga studio.
